### 3/5 — Need to fix midi mapping to cents

*2026-01-23*

This app bends pitch well.  However, there is a major bug.  You cannot properly map a midi expression pedal to the cents parameter.  It looks like the parameter range is set incorrectly to 0 to 1 instead of +- 1200.  Please fix so the plugin is usable
